We stand apart from a typical club due to our distinct characteristics. While clubs often focus on specific interests or hobbies, Alpha Phi Omega is a nationally recognized co-ed service fraternity. We uphold the principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service, aiming to develop well-rounded individuals who actively contribute to their communities. Unlike many other clubs, our organization offers structured programs, leadership opportunities, and a nationwide network of over 400,000 members. Through our commitment to service, personal growth, and fostering lifelong connections, Alpha Phi Omega provides a unique and transformative experience beyond what a traditional club can offer.

Alpha Phi Omega members meet for 2 hours every week. We organize optional social events, leadership workshops, and other intermittent activities. Both active members and pledges are required to complete a certain amount of service work every semester, yet service events are easy to come by, and we are very accomodating of all schedules. Please contact us if you have any further questions about requirements and how they can fit your schedule.

Dues for pledges are usually around $200 for your first semester, but becomes around $130 a semester once you become an active member. Exact numbers for dues are notified to prospective members, and can be asked for in our social media. We have some of the cheapest dues out of any other fraternity, and have multiple programs like trimesterly payments and sponsorships to ensure that financial needs are never a concern for anyone joining Alpha Phi Omega.
